People expressing how they never knew a gay person before, but looked up to Cruz and knowing he&#39;s gay makes them rethink their prejudice toward gays. It was a really insightful article. Have to see where I saved it.</p>
<p>Anyhow, love this man&#39;s convictions. Congratulations to his hard work and earned success. </p>Luke Morgan commented on 'Boxer Orlando Cruz Wins 2nd Match Since Coming Out While Wearing Rainbow Kilt as Sign of Gay Pride'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8341c730253ef017d41f5635c970c2013-03-16T20:36:52Z2013-03-16T20:36:52ZLuke MorganAnyone know if he's on twitter or facebook?

I&#39;ve heard his quotes about LGBT youth and inspiring their lives and it&#39;s extremely powerful. This man could be an incredibly resourceful tool for us if he is used to his full advnatge. Much like Ayanbadejo. These are people who touch lives and minds.</p>2 Dads commented on 'Boxer Orlando Cruz Wins 2nd Match Since Coming Out While Wearing Rainbow Kilt as Sign of Gay Pride'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8341c730253ef017c37c62520970b2013-03-16T20:33:09Z2013-03-16T20:33:09Z2 DadsThis, this right here is the kind of thing that leads to change.

Exposing society in various brackets that we are gay, and aren&#39;t ashamed of it, and have been through a great deal of prejudice to be where we are, and have been through a great journey to have self acceptance, and now that we are comfortable in our skin, we want to use our voice to foster a more accepting envrionment for the next generation. THAT is what creates profound, long lasting, prominent change folks.</p>Jose commented on 'Boxer Orlando Cruz Wins 2nd Match Since Coming Out While Wearing Rainbow Kilt as Sign of Gay Pride'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8341c730253ef017d41f55d64970c2013-03-16T20:31:24Z2013-03-16T20:31:24ZJoseI was ignorant about the meaning of the rainbow flag (was raised in a homophobic surrounding) until I recently read...<p>I was ignorant about the meaning of the rainbow flag (was raised in a homophobic surrounding) until I recently read a book and watched a documentary on LGBT history. profoundly moved by it now. The rainbow flag represents diversity, love, unity, acceptance and has soo much beautiful history behind it. It makes me proud to have that symbol. </p>
